Nuclear war at issue
BY ROGER BURMAHL
SUft Writer
Space weapons and nuclear war
were the issues discussed at the
High Frontier/Space Weapons pro-gram
held last Thursday at (Well
Auditorium, Greensboro College.
The program, sponsored by the
UNC-G Peace Fellowship, featured
a debate between two of the nations
highest authorities on space
weapons. The debate was centered
around two speakers, General
Daniel Graham, Director of the
High Frontier/ "Star Wars" pro-gram
and Dr. Robert M. Bowman,
President of the Institute for Space
and Security Studies. General
Graham spoke in support of the
"Star Wars" defense system and
Dr. Bowman spoke in opposition to
The first presentation was by
General Graham, who began by at-tacking
the past strategy of Mutual-ly
Assured Destruction. Graham
said that it was "flawed as well as
immoral." Graham continued by
saying that it was "a moral im-perative"
for the U.S. to move
toward the "Star Wars" defense
system. He concluded by saying,
"Those who oppose 'Star Wars' are
leaving the American people
vulnerable to Soviet missies from
the oceans." Graham also added
that it was "our moral duty" to sup-port
"Star Wars".
The second presentation, by Dr.
Bowman, was in opposition to the
High Frontier defense plan.
Bowman began by saying "It would
be nice to think that we have a
plastic bubble over our country."
Bowman went on to say that this
was not the case and that the only
way the U.S. could be safe was to
have a "perfect system." He added
that the most protection "Star
Wars" could provide would be 95
percent protection from enemy
missies. According to Bowman, this
would still allow 400 missies to
enter the U.S.. Bowman said that
we can end the Soviet threat
"without 'Star Wars', without spen-ding
five thousand dollars for every
U.S. citizen, and without trusting
our lives to computers." He con-cluded
by renaming the "Star
Wars" defense system "the Death
Star system, death weapons cruis-ing
the global oceans of space."
After a short commentary by
each speaker, there was a round of
questions from an inquiry panel. On
the panel was Dr. Gerald Meisner,
Professor of Physics. UNC-G, Mr.
Phillip C. Clark, former editor of
NEWSWEEK, and Mr. Ben Stem-berg,
former Military Assistant af
the Office of the Secretary of
Defense.
In summary. General Graham
stated "High Frontiers can not
start World War 3." He went on to
say, "The superior technology of
the U.S. is a gift for us to use to get
us off the nuclear treadmill." In
response, Dr. Bowman said, "It is
no longer possible to guarantee the
safety of the U.S. or the Soviet
Union." Bowman said we must end
the arms race or perish. He ended
with a plee not "to transport our
weapons of death into space and
thus choose life rather than death."
Pornography symposium tonight
BY LEAH GRIFFIN
Staff Writer
Should it be a woman's constitu-tional
right to be protected against
the effects of pornography? Or
would a law censoring pornography
be a violation of a woman's freedom
of expression? Groups such as
Women Against Pornography and
Women Against Violence Against
Women are fighting to pass an or-dinance
which would define and
prohibit pornography on the
grounds of discrimination. Last
year U.S. District Judge Sarah
Evans Barker declared the law un-constitutional
for reasons of con-flicts
with the First Amendment
and because of vague and overbroad
definitions.
On April 4, the Association for
Women Students will present a
seminar on pornography, featuring
Dr. Thomas Tedford (Communica-tions
and Theatre) and Dr. Jac-
Seline White (Psychology and
omen Studies). Each professor
will give a thirty minute presenta-tion,
discussing pornography from
the views of civil rights and from a
psychoanalytic approach.
Dr. Tedford, who teaches
Freedom of Speech and Censorship
will explain why ordinances of this
kind are a violation of the First
Amendment. As part of his presen-tation,
he plans to show a fifteen
minute aegmsat foam the program
"60 Minutes". The title of his lec-ture,
Is it possible to talk sense about
pornography?, implies the complex-ity
of the issue. Dr. Tedford will
show the futility of censorship in
answering the problems of
pornography.
"The Women Against Por-nography
have jumped up and tried
to redefine the world. They are very
shrill and loud, and they think that
by censoring pornography it will
make it all right," said Tedford.
Dr. White plans to take a more
scientific approach in her presenta-tion,
focusing on the psychological
effects on men exposed to por-nography.
She will review the
research of Dr. Edward Donners-tein
and Dr. Neil Malamuth, which
has shown that men take rape less
seriously and that sexual fantasies
about rape increase after a male has
observed violent sexual degradation
of women through the media. As
well as teaching psychology, Dr.
White teaches a Sex, Gender and
Behavior course.
According to Dr. Tedford and
other opposers of antipornography
laws, women have entered into
these fields voluntarily and people
do not have the right to "protect"
them against their will. They
believe that an ordinance of this
kind would be lnfantalizing women.
But what about women in the por-nography
business who are there
against their will? Linda Lovelace,
star of "Deep Throat", recently
testified in Minneapolis that she
was the prisoner of a man who beat
and threatened her while she made
the film. The April issue of MB.
magazine reported her as saying:
"So many people say that in
"Deep Throat" I have a smile on my
face, and that I look as though I am
really enjoying myself. NO one ever
asked me how those bruises got on
my body... Everytime someone sees
"Deep Throat", they're seeing me
being raped."
The issue of pornography is
especially relevant to UNC-G, as a
fraternity on campus hopas to ob-tain
permission to show the X-rated
film "Deep Throat" sometime in
April. Last year the X-rated film
"Bad Girls", shown through the
EUC Council, made three times as
much money as any other film
shown on campus. These films are
obviously in demand and they are
obviously reaching quite a few peo-ple.
It is important that people
become educated about the physical
effects of pornography in society, as
well as the complex political involve-ment
the issue entails. The seminar
tonight, which will be held in Sharpe
Lounge from seven to nine,
presents both sides of the issue.
Special collection adds editions
BY CATHERINE RICHARDSON
SUff WriUr
If you need a certain book to suc-cessfully
complete a paper, and find
that this book is housed in the
Special Collection section of the
library, don't be intimidated by the
formal glass doors and the nice fur-niture.
Emilie Mills, the Special Col-lections
librarian, will gladly assist
you in finding that book and may in-troduce
you to several more. Even
if you don't need to do any research,
but would like to see the books on
display, or discuss certain books
previously on display, do go in. The
room contains not just old or very
rare books. According to Emilie
Mills, there really is no point to that
lort of crazy-quilt collecting, though
if there is a very old or rare book
out on the shelves, it will be put in
the Special Collections part of the
library to be cherished and preserv-ed.
The books that Ms. Mills ac-quires
have special merits of their
own, and fit into one of the twelve
extensive collections covering the
arts and the humanities. These col-lections,
informally begun in the
I930's were formally created in
1972 when Ms. Mills was hired.
Each new book that is acquired may
not actually be rare or very old, but
helps to flesh out a particular col-lection
started years belore. Since
all special books cannot be collected,
and the special interests of all
students cannot be met, certain
collections continue to be filled out,
ideally starting at the roots of that
collection, and then gathering many
books of importance of this par-ticular
type until there is a broad
overview of the collection.

One collection that is neither old
nor rare contains books from
private printings or facsimiles of
these books. All of the books by the
Bird and Bull Press are acquired, in-cluding
the recently published The
Parkes Report of 1871 on Japanese
papermaking. This book also
belongs to an extensive collection
on papermaking. Another private
book is a new edition of Mary
Shelley's Frankenstein. Printed
with the original, not the revised
text, the book is well-bound and
contains many highly evocative
wood engravings by Barry Moser.
The type is hand-set, and the
engravings were printed directly
onto the paper. This book is also
part of the collection of female
writers. Collections overlap and
cross over one another, making
them more valuable for their diver-sity.
One facsimile of a private press
book is owned by the library which
is highly specialized, and useful on-ly
for dolls. It is a copy of Horace's
Carmina Sapphwa, designed in the
original along with many other
books by English publishers in the
1800s for Queen Victoria's
dollhouse library.
One of the literary collections
possessed by the library is the Ran-dall
Jarrell collection. A well-respected
poet and critic during his
lifetime and even more so today,
Jarrell taught at UNC-G until his
death in 1965. Students from all
over the country come to study this
collection. The library also owns
another excellent collection of
George Herbert's poetry. They
have eight of the thirteen first edi-tions
of The Temple, published in
1633. Herbert's 1670 biography and
the biography written by the late
Amy Charles, professor of English
at UNC-G, are also in the collection.
A collection of French illustrated
books belong to the library. Produc-ed
with earful collaboration bet-ween
artists, writers and
publishers, these limited edition
books reproduced classical texts or
used contemporary poetry. Only
facsimile editions of these tivre
d'artiste books are owned by the
library.
Two other collections worth
special note are the children's book
collection and the American
women's detective book collection.
Children's books are rare because
they are usually destroyed by their
owners. Many of these are in poor
condition, but are interesting. The
detective collection contains bookf.
about female detectives and is
unusual because detectives are
typically though of as males.

Chancellor Moran:
a short take
BY LORRIE J. CAREY
Staff Writer
Most UNC-G students don't know
much about UNC-G chancellor,
William E. Moran. Chancellor
Moran was born in New York in
1932. He went to White Plains High
School before going to Princeton to
obtain a liberal arts degree, which
he graduated with in 1954. He went
to Princeton on a NROTC scholar-ship.
Consequently, after he
graduated from college, he had to
serve for three years in the U.S.
Navy aboard a destroyer. Moran
left the Navy in 1957.
After Moran had completed his
Navy service, he decided to go back
to school. He entered Harvard
Business School's M.B.A. program.
He spent two years at Harvard
before going to work for a New
York consulting firm. Moran spent
two years with the firm, then he
went back to Harvard to do some
teaching and some administrative
work.
Moran left Harvard and went to
the University of Michigan's
Graduate Business School to obtain
a doctorate degree, which he com-pleted
in 1966. After completing his
doctorate, he went back to New
York to work at the State Univer-sity
of New York at Stoneybrook in
an administrative capacity.
In 1971, Moran was asked to
become the first chancellor of a new
campus, the Flint campus of the
University of Michigan. He worked
there for eight years before he ac-cepted
the position as Chancellor at
UNC-G in 1979.
Chancellor Moran also has a fami-ly
that UNC-G students know little
about. He has a wife named Bar-bara,
who is a Cornell graduate, and
four children. His daughter,
Kathryn, is a sophomore at
Princeton. His oldest son, Kevin, is
a senior at Grimsley High School.
Sons Colin and Christian are atten-ding
Kiser Junior High School.
Moran says, "My principle hobby is
my family. I play a little basketball
now and again with the boys, I have
the edge on them in basketball."
Moran also plays tennis with his
family. "They are better than I am
at tennis," says Moran.
Chancellor Moran's other hobbies
include reading, trout fishing, ra-quetball.
and walking. "1 try to stay
physically active," he says. Moran
adds, "I am also a fledgling cook.''
He has been learning to make some
complicated sauces. Maybe ARA
could hire the Chancellor to prepare
one of our Wednesday night
suppers. Swing-a-thon
BY CYNTHIA CLARK
gaoclal to tka Carolinian
On Friday March 29th, the Chi
Omega Fraternity began their third
annual Swing-a-thon.
The Swing-a-thon is Chi Omega's
fund raiser and is held every spring
to raise money for a charitable
organization. The charitable
organization is not a set one, for it
changes each year, based on the
needs of the community. For their
third Swing-a-thon Chi Omega
chose to swing for Hospice of
Greensboro. Hospice is a fairly new,
non-profit organization that offers
services to the terminally ill pa-tients
and their families. Their ser-vices
range from offering simple
companionship to providing nursing
care.
The Swing-a-thon startad at 12:00
Friday afternoon and went for 24
hours. To raise money, sisters ask-ed
for pledges for each hour swung,
and during the Swing-a-thon many
faculty and students also made con-tributions.
Chi Omega has raised
almost $1,500 for Hospice, with the
combined dedication of sisters and
contributions from the campus.
